Sound Recording from species Altihoratosphaga nou (Hemp, 2006) (OSF)0:12

Literature

Hemp, Claudia; Voje, Kjetil Lysne; Heller, Klaus-Gerhard; Warchałowska-Śliwa, Elżbieta; Hemp, Andreas (2010). A new genus of African Acrometopini (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) based on morphology, chromosomes, acoustics, distribution, and molecular data, and the description of a new species. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 158(1): 66 - 82.

Behaviour

The song of A. nou was also composed of the two elements A and B. However, both elements were repeated several times to build one verse. On average, a verse of A. nou started with 13 ± 1.4 A elements, followed by 5 ± 0.9 B elements (range 9–16 A, 3–7 B; N= 58). The B elements mostly consisted of several impulse groups, but in some records they also consisted of single impulses (Fig. 3). The A elements were repeated at 3.6 Hz (a period of 275 ms), whereas within the B elements the impulse group period was 27 ms, on average.
